Context
‘Critical Journalism’ offers a constructive response to a lack of media coverage of the visual arts sector, which in turn is frustrating the sector’s attempts to reach, develop and maintain audiences.
‘Critical Journalism’ is prompted by a sense of urgency – in the current economic climate, more than ever, the visual arts sector has to address media and publics in new ways; in order to assert its robustness and counter perceptions that it is an un-essential luxury or soft target for funding cuts.

Cristín Leach Hughes will lead participants through a range of approaches and strategies, sharing more than fifteen years experience of print, online and broadcast journalism and offering practical insights into pitching, researching, writing and editing your work for mainstream media. The course will include practical assignments and feedback.
The two sessions will also serve as forum for considering and devising new forms of arts analysis, reportage and publicity – for print, online and broadcast media – addressing both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
‘Critical Journalism’ is an associated project of this year’s edition of Visual Artists Ireland’s Get Together (Friday 28 June at NCAD, Dublin) – a networking and information event, with participants acting as ‘roving reporters’ for the day.
